Photosynthesis is the process in plants and some algae that convert energy from the light to chemical energy, stored in the bonds. The overall reaction is: 6CO2 + 6H2O (+ light energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 In order to make sugar plants need light energy, carbon dioxide and water. The products are also water, oxygen in the air and carbohydrates. This is the main source of the O2 humans breathe, and therefore deforestation is a significant concern nowadays. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts, using
Sunlight fuels the planet and photosynthesis converts that solar energy into energy that plants transfer into the food chain. Photosynthesis provides plants with sugars and plant proteins that are important for animals as well as for human agriculture. Most people know the general idea behind it, but there are so many complicated processes that make up the entirety of photosynthesis. Different aspects of photosynthesis, the photosystems, and the photosynthetic pathways are still studied today because
Introduction: Photosynthesis uses the sun’s energy and uses it to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar. There were two plants that stayed outside in the sunlight and two plants that were inside only receiving sunlight from the window. If the plants stay outside then they will grow at a faster rate and will be the tallest with most leaves because they receive more sunlight from the sun and have a fresher environment. Methods: Both the plants inside and outside were exposed to sunlight and given
Introduction: What is photosynthesis, photosynthesis is the process where light energy is converted to chemical energy and storing it in chemical bond of sugar all these reactions take place in structures called chloroplasts. During the process of photosynthesis carbon dioxide, water, and light is consumed to produce glucose and oxygen. Thus bringing us to cellular respiration this is where plants consumes glucose and oxygen and produces carbon dioxide, water, and ATP energy molecules. To capture
Student 1 Photosynthesis is a process in which carbohydrates are formed from carbon dioxide and hydrogen and in this light act as an energy source. End result is also oxygen and some byproducts. It is mainly done by plants not by animals. In photosynthesis plant uses the light taken from the sun for the conversion of carbon dioxide and water to glucose and oxygen. It converts the carbon dioxide taken from the atmosphere to oxygen whereas cellular respiration is opposite to that of photosynthesis. Human
Introduction Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and other organisms such as photosynthetic bacteria, algae and protists make their food. All organisms that undergo photosynthesis can be called photoautotrophs. In the food making process, the organism uses sunlight energy trapped by leaves and converts it into chemical energy. This chemical energy is then utilised as a drive force for the synthesis of organic products such as glucose. ¹The best known form of photosynthesis is the one carried
Photosynthesis What organisms perform it? Most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis; such organisms are called photoautotrophs. What organelle is needed if it is a eukaryotic cell? The organelle needed to perform photosynthesis in a eukaryotic cell is the chloroplast. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, the primary pigment used in photosynthesis, and other molecules that function in the photosynthetic production of food. Light Reactions Where do they occur? Light reactions take
Photosynthesis is a series of light driven reactions that convert energy poor compounds such as carbon dioxide and water to energy rich sugars [1] such as glucose. The process generate an electron gradient across the membrane of a chloroplast, which is used for ATP synthesis, and simultaneously produces electrons used to make NADPH, using NADP+ as an energy carrier[2]. Crudely put, it is the method by which autotrophic plants make their own ‘food.’ All eukaryotic plant cells that have coloured
the rate of photosynthesis, in my project I am going to test that plants do need light in order to photosynthesise. It will be very interesting to see how light will influence the rate of photosynthesis in plants and what will happen if they do not get the required light in order to produce starch . The plant I have chosen to do is a Geranium which is a dicotyledonous plant found in the dry and hot regions of South Africa. Aim To see whether light effects the rate of Photosynthesis in plants or
The Process of Photosynthesis Missing Images Plants are one of the many wonders of the world. They are considered autotrophs; they do not rely on outside sources for their food. They create their own food by the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is when green plants and certain other organisms use light energy to change carbon dioxide and water into the glucose. In so doing, photosynthesis provides the basic energy source for almost all organisms. An extremely important byproduct of
The process of photosynthesis is present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and is the process in which cells transform energy in the form of light from the sun into chemical energy in the form of organic compounds and gaseous oxygen (See Equation Below). In photosynthesis, water is oxidized to gaseous oxygen and carbon dioxide is reduced to glucose. Furthermore, photosynthesis is an anabolic process, or in other words is a metabolism that is associated with the construction of large molecules
indeed, and this usefulness is definitely a factor in why the Photosynthesis Lab experiment was preformed. Purpose of Study: The purpose of this study was to examine photosynthesis in plants and determine what variations of light is the most effective and most energy providing for the plants. In this experiment leaves were hole-punched and vacuumed then in water under a light with different colored filters to track its rate of photosynthesis. Hypothesis: It was
research task project I have decided to see if light is necessary for photosynthesis to take place in green plants. I choose this topic because I wanted to see if light necessary for photosynthesis is really. It is also a very interesting topic because most living things need light to function, survive and grow. Photosynthesis is the physic-chemical process by which green plants use light energy to photosynthesis. When Photosynthesis occurs it takes in the co2 from the atmosphere and releases oxygen

1. Introduction Photosynthesis occurs in plants and some organisms from the Kingdom Protista, such as algae. It is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar of the organism. This process takes place in the leaves of a plant specifically in the chloroplast and it uses chlorophyll. In order to make sugar plants require only the following: Light energy, Water, and Carbon Dioxide. Chlorophyll is made into the membranes of the thylakoids. (Clermont
Photosynthesis The Prentice Gallery Chemistry book defines photosynthesis as, “The procedure by which green plants and algae use radiant power from the sun to fuse glucose from carbon dioxide and water.” The glory of discovering photosynthesis does not belong to any one scientist, but rather numerous scientists contributed to refining the concept we now know as photosynthesis. Before describing the process of photosynthesis, I will provide a brief description of several of the important events that
Conclusion and Evaluation Conclusion- The data supports my hypothesis. By looking at the graph titled “Average Rate of Photosynthesis” we see massive photosynthetic activity occurring from :30 to 10:00 with particularly impressive growth occurring in red and blue light around the 5:00 and 8:30 respectively. The colors that have the highest influence on photosynthesis is blue and red. This is also why so many gardeners both amateur and professional alike use blue and red lights to grown plants. Under
Plant photosynthesis happens in leaves and stems with green stem with a special organelle called a chloroplast. A plant leaf has tens of thousands of cells, and they contain 40-50 chloroplasts. The chloroplast, is an oval-shaped structure, and is divided by membranes into numerous disk-shaped compartments. The disk like compartments, which are called thylakoids, are placed vertically in the chloroplast and look like a stack of plates or pancakes. One stack of thylakoids is called a granum or more
